Purified Tomorrow: The Mad Awakening - Episode 14

 

 Tina moved as if she was levitating. Katrina, still all jittery, walked in their midst in a manner that showed that she feared them and also trusted them than she did those men that were in pursuit of her. They had rested for the whole night to regain their energy, and to make the men after Katrina back down, but they adamantly stayed around, and had their men search most parts of the underground.
'Sweetie, open the garage'.
The gate to their garage flung open. The garage was another place underground that was designed in such a way that one could leave the tunnel through many exit routes . They had made the plan they were about to use even before they created the tunnel. So, they were about to test run it. Richard navigated a drone into the tunnel, and scanned the area for any activities.
'They are stationed at the north but... Wow! These people are everywhere'.
'Then, our plan had better work', Tina said as she strapped her glove on very well. She grabbed her pad and began to type furiously. Suddenly, a car started from the corner of the garage.
'Watch the drones on the left wing'.
The car that rushed towards the left wing, she controlled its movement and the plan worked. Since the car was tinted, the people followed it

. The car had been made in such a way that any detector would sense human radiation from the car, deceiving as many that wanted to follow it.
'They are in pursuit...'
'Let me see...'
She moved towards Richard to watch the men pursue the car. Katrina also peeped.
'What?' Tina leered at her, and kept watching. Katrina cringed away.
'Thin...Leave her be'.
Tina stared at the screen and shouted, 'No Don't follow'.
She burst into laughter and squealed delightedly, 'That's not us. Let's give you another “us”'.
The people at the other end began a hot pursuit of their decoy.
'Stage 2', she said as she sent another car in a different direction.
The cars had been programmed for such things as this. They were created to detect any form of gunshot and car coming ahead or anything that required escaping from assailants. Immediately the cars detected the movement of the force, they began to swerve and increase paces at a level that surprised even Richard. They've only planned these things, but he never expected it to be in the same manner as this. Katrina had given them the chance to unleash the greatness they had hoarded all this while.
'Let's go...'
Katrina rushed towards another car. 
'Hey! Whore, over here'.
Katrina blinked repeatedly and ran over to their side.  Richard opened the door for her.
'Gentleman, why are you bias? Am I smelling something here?' Tina said as she placed her leg on the edge of the opened car.
'Whatever you're smelling shouldn't stop you from focusing on the road'.
'I hope it's just a smell because I don't see the reason you're warming up to her'.
'Are you...For crying out loud, that's....' Richard shook his head and climbed into the car.
Tina hissed and placed her hand on the bag of weapons on their side.
'I just hope it's a whiff of something that won't happen'.
'Keep your smell to yourself and focus on this road'.
'Yes, boss. We both know you're celibate', she kicked the car. 'But I won't be happy if your matriculation is not done by me. If I'm not the first woman that makes you reach cloud 9'.
'Jeez! You're horrible'.
'No. Just a warning to them', Tina said and stared into the rearview.
'The silent treatment'.
'Don't you dare'.
'Watch me'.
'Richard?'
'Ten minutes'.
'Please'.
 He removed his earpieces from his pocket and began to listen to music. Then, his mind wandered off to his life with Tina.
With the way she had always disturbed him with the want of an intercourse, he had better run from her need for sex. But, he wasn't pledging any allegiance or anything to her. All he needed right there was to find what was happening around Katrina. They still had a lot of mysteries around to solve. And the first thing they needed was to corroborate her story about seeing where they took those children.
'Richard', Tina shouted and shook his shoulder, her noise overshadowing his music.
He gave her a scornful look. She knew that look and would have backed off, but her demeanor made him know something was wrong. He unplugged his earpieces, and glanced at his wristwatch.
'It's remaining two minutes and 27 seconds. Why did you disturb me?'
'She' Tina looked rattled but not afraid. 'Check her out'.
Richard turned to watch Katrina. She was vibrating terribly, and her eyes rolled up into her eyes. Her iris and pupils were now hidden that the only thing remaining was the white part of her eyes.
'What did you do?' Richard asked.
'Me? I was busy avoiding cameras. I was...Just check her out. I think...Richard, check her out, she is freaking me out'.
Katrina was terribly vibrating. Richard crawled to the back, sat beside her, and held her hands in place. He shook her vigorously. Her teeth were clamped together. She rocked to and fro in the room. He had never seen such thing before. What he was staring at wasn't convulsion, though it had semblance with it. His fear as he touched her was that she wouldn't be an idiot to refer to him as a pervert after the ordeal. He might generously give Tina the chance to remove her teeth. 
'Calm down...'
Her breath became hyperventilated. He wasn't one to break a sweat on anything, and he wouldn't be doing that now, but what she was doing made the hair on his body rise. The car suddenly had an unexplainable feeling that made the hair on his body rise, and his head had a feeling as if it was expanding.
'The time is unleashing. The new one would be born. The chaos of the past would return. My truth would not be oppressed. For I am God!'
'What did she say?'
'I don't knowWho the...Who is God?' Richard asked as he, against his wish, held her bare thighs in place.
'There would be retribution. The nations shall return to worship me', Katrina said.
'Worsh- what?' Tina said as she focused on the road.' Richard. Do something about it. I will put a bullet in her cranium'. 
'I'm trying...'
'She's freaking me out!' Tina screamed.
'Shut up, you, vile woman. Come to me. I have plans for you. I will make you a vessel useful for me in the coming of my reign. The body of Mitchel would be exhumed soon unless you follow my orders, you vile and smelling maggot'.
Tina sat up. She was rattled and surprised at what Katrina was saying.
'What is she talking about?' Richard asked as he now had to disregard his fear to grab Katrina by the shoulders.
Tina was silent. Then, she swerved the car to the side of the road, jumped out of the car and opened the door of the back seat. With extraneous vigor, she pulled Katrina away. 
'You bastard!  You are not to put me under control'.
'Tina-'
'How dare you rough handle my servant? You will face my wrath', said Katrina, who still seemed blank. 
'Servant to whom?'
'I am God'.
'What's God?'
Katrina or whatever was in her laughed hysterically. 'I created this world'.
Richard looked at Katrina for sometimes. Then they stared at one another. 'What world?'
'This world'.
Tina looked at her for sometimes and slapped her face. 'Stop uttering poo. This is...How do you come with such ridiculous claim?'
She brushed Richard's hand away as she held on to the vibrating woman, who went into a bout of speaking incomprehensible words. That couldn't be English, the only Language. Richard had never encountered or gotten information about any other language in the world. He watched with awe as Katrina rolled out of Tina's reach.
'I am God. I know all things and this is my servant. Take her to the base of my servants or I will guide the steps of the authority to the place you buried Mitchel'.
Richard had been staring for a while, he knew only one Mitchel. She was the wife of the second world leader, whom the world had been searching for due to her sudden disappearance.
'You? Wow! Mitchel'.
Tina was embarrassed and her hand slacked to allow Katrina slouch. Richard would have gone to catch her, but for some absurd reason she was still standing, grunting and speaking incomprehensibly. 
'Oh! I should have known. The ...WowThat was good'.
'Really? You think it's good'.
'I don't know why you killed her, and I'm not sure I'll like to know why, but I think you're a genius'.
Tears welled in her eyes. She jumped on him and sucked his breath with her kiss. He had never had such encounter. Everything in him suddenly became hot.
He should push her away, but his hand couldn't move and she wasn't stopping. She was crying and kissing him.
'I love you'.
Then she laughed and withdrew and sighed. 'Wow! I've been dying to do that'.
'Which of them? Kiss me or tell me?'
'Both'.
'Human...'
Richard returned to his senses about the shaking Katrina: That moment with Tina was surprisingly good. He wiped his lips as if doing that should remove that thought of kissing Tina from him. However, whatever thought he must have had before, Katrina's statement was definitely surprising. She had been using vocabularies he had never come across.

. He loved reading the dictionary a lot, but he had never encountered the word “Worship”, “God”. Maybe those were some slangs among prostitutes.
'Human?'
'You. I'll be back. Take her to Queen's house'.
Katrina suddenly became weak and slumped to the ground. 
Richard hurried to her side and lifted her into the car. She laid still with a dusty body. Tina would have had to kill her for doing that, but the rattling news from Katrina must have really gotten to her. She must have assumed no one would ever know. In silence, they entered the car too and drove off the road.
When Katrina woke she stared about. 'Are you kidding me? Where are we?'
 'Did you remember what happened?'
Katrina looked puzzled. 'What happened? We were running from those gunmen, and how did Dust. Is this seat dusty?'
'You started doing something', Richard said.
'Vibrating like a phone and how do you know about Mitchel?'
'Mitchel Who is Mitchel?'
Tina and Richard shared a side glance.
